Dressed to kill BAE Systems 'wearable cockpit' technology opens a new era in human-machine interface

摘要

In short while the stealthy shape of the Tempest concept drew headlines at Farnborough, potentially its most innovative and futuristic feature was on the inside - with the 'wearable cockpit'. Though the mock-up demo used a Striker II HMD and low-cost consumer tech, it gave a tantalising glimpse into the almost unlimited possibilities of a 'wearable cockpit' for future combat aircraft and potentially some (such as attentiveness monitoring) that could also feed back into commercial aviation too.Is this - with a helmet and suit that combines avionics, health monitoring, Al co-pilot, training and potentially neurological performance enhancement, the final evolution of the human-machine interface in aviation?
